I don't think I changed anything in my NSTableView code, but all the sudden it is white on white. If I click on a row it turns black and will stay that way, but it initially loads at white. It used to load as black, but all the sudden is loading as white. There is nothing particularly special about the tableView:

Code:
-(id)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn row:(int)rowIndex {
    NSString *identifier=[aTableColumn identifier];
    return [[machineListArray objectAtIndex:rowIndex] objectAtIndex:[identifier intValue]];
}

And that machineArray is just being generated like this:

Code:
- (void)readAllTheData:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    NSData *remoteClientInfoData = [[aNotification userInfo]
                    objectForKey:NSFileHandleNotificationDataItem];
    NSString *remoteClientInfo = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[remoteClientInfoData bytes]];
    NSArray *remoteClientInfoArray = [remoteClientInfo componentsSeparatedByString:@","];
    [machineListArray addObject:remoteClientInfoArray];
    
}

There isn't any funny string formatting so I don't know what's wrong.

You haven't changed anything in IB? Hmm..try a [tableView reloadData] in awakeFromNib and/or showWindow...

I did add a couple of columns, but I don't see anything in IB that determines the text color. And it seems odd that it would suddenly appear if I click on the field.

I was reloading the data in two separate places and one of them would override the other with empty data, but then when I clicked on the table it would load it again from a method after the variables were full.

BTW, I know I have been asking lots of questions the last few days, but things have finally started to pay off. You can see my app here. It is a monitor for Folding@home. I was able to incorporate Rendezvous and a couple of custom views to make some history graphs for the various statistics. There are still some issues (mainly with the UI), but the app is functional and relatively stable. It won't do much unless you fold, but I just wanted to let you all know that it wouldn't have been possible without lots of help from this forum!

I have learned a ton during this project and most of it has been from you guys. Thanks!

Hey, that's great! It's a good feeling when you get past hurdles like that. Gotta love Cocoa...
